The new center will provide a space to meet and administer treatments to patients participating in neuroscience clinical trials adjacent to the researchers conducting these studies. The 3,705-square-foot space houses five exams rooms, a consultation room, a sample processing lab, a kitchen and office space for clinical research staff members.
The Neurosciences Clinical Research Center is located on the fifth floor in Goodman Hall.
IU School of Medicine researchers whose labs are in the space adjacent to the clinic in Goodman Hall include:
- Martin Farlow, M.D., professor of neurology
- David Kareken, Ph.D., professor of neurology and clinical psychology

- Andrew Saykin, O.D., director of the Center for Neuroimaging, Raymond C. Beeler Professor of Radiology and professor of radiology and imaging sciences, clinical psychology, neurology, and medical and molecular genetics
- Karmen Yoder, Ph.D., assistant professor of radiology and imaging sciences
The new center is a satellite of the Clinical Research Center, a part of the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute, which oversees clinical trials across IU and Purdue. The site will be staffed for outpatient visits from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. three days a week, with additional hours available for patient screenings.
Everyone is welcome. Laurie Trevino, operations manager for the Indiana CTSI Clinical Research Center, and Mario Contreraz, assistant nurse manager for the center, will be available to show the space.
